MST3K's 2010s revival looked forward; this one is emphatically looking backward.

    for a limited four-episode engagement

    This is MST3K. It doesn’t need a huge budget to churn out like 50 of these. The original show premiered on local access television.

    I’m excited about this one actually! I haven’t really enjoyed it after Mike, it always just felt off somehow in the netflix reboot. But I love Mike, Joel, Kevin, Trace, Frank, Mary Jo, and even Bill Corbett, and this seems to suggest at least some of those people will be involved. It does suggest Mike won’t be in the theater, but I sincerely hope either he or Joel is and not some random new human.

      Honestly I was surprised how much I laughed at some of the newer ones, but at the end of the day it’s hard for me to enjoy it too much without Bill and Kevin as Crow and Tom. I love both Mike and Joel (with Mike being my favorite) but that version of the bots is irreplaceable imho. And while I enjoy Rifftrax, I just feel like those 3 were at their best playing those characters

        I didn’t hate Jonah, I just didn’t like him with the show personally, I’d probably like him on other stuff. I actually never saw Felicia’s and I do like her in other stuff, so I’ll check that out and may like that! Didn’t know she had done any.

    I love that they are going to make more episodes. I have enjoyed all of the eras and am glad they will still come back.

    Are they dumping the Netflix cast entirely, or will we be able to se tv’s frank meet tv’s son of tv’s frank?

    Thats amazing. Glad to know well see something new again. For this day and age i wish they tried some new things though. Like we all know the attention span of most people will not last that long so i wish they would try doing stuff like commercial breaks. There are some awful commercials out there and i think fitting in 2 to 5 min segments of that would be a great watch to bring in new people.

      You mean like the new stuff they tried a few years ago but was a miss for a bunch of people?
